It was a beautiful peaceful morning. The sun shone through the windows of the Baker household, and everything was perfectly quiet and still. Butterflies drifted around lazily outside, and dew fell from the spiderwebs.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" came a shout. "Gunner come back right now!"

Mrs. Baker turned wildly around from the kitchen stove. "What Tom?"

Upstairs, Nora, fell of her chair from where she was putting on mascara, Charlie drew a huge line from his pencil from where he was doing his last-minute homework, Lorraine drew a streak of lipgloss across her cheek, Henry's face pitched forward into the sink where he was brushing his teeth in surprise, Sarah dropped her Lacrosse stick down the laundry chute where she had been putting her clothes, Jake and his mattress fell out of bed, Mark dropped his new frog Chili Burger, Jessica and Kim screamed, Mike fell off the toilet seat, and Kyle and Nigel bashed their toy hammers through the window and broke the glass.

"GUNNER'S RUN AWAY AGAIN!" Mr. Baker yelled again.

Everybody groaned and scrambled downstairs, running outside down the block, screaming after Gunner.

Mr. Baker took the lead, waving his arms madly in the air.

Charlie followed, wearing a gray t-shirt and bunny slippers.

Mrs. Baker came after, in an apron and random sandals that were laying on the floor.

Nora came, a streak of mascara in her hair, wearing pajamas.

Jake followed on his skateboard, and narrowly missed a streetlight, wearing sweats.

Sarah ran around waving her Lacrosse stick in the air, (after yanking it out of the laundry chute), wearing Paul Frank pajamas.

Henry ran slowly, howling, "Gunner!" at the top of his lungs, wearing a large T-shirt and sweat pants.

Lorraine was squealing, running and trying to apply her lip gloss at the same time, wearing pajama bottoms from Abercrombie and a neon blue shirt that clashed horribly with her pants.

Mark ran with them, but it was desperately trying to catch Chili Burger, not Gunner, wearing pajamas with dragons as well.

Mike ran around, screaming his head off, wearing pajamas with trucks on them.

Kyle and Nigel tried to catch up with the parents, wanting refunds on their hammers, wearing Power Ranger pajamas.


Tina Shenk and her son, Dylan, looked out the window to see the whole Baker family, still wearing their pajamas running around screaming. "That's what comes from having too many kids," she informed Dylan, and then closed the curtains.


Mr. Baker lunged, and grabbed Gunner. Charlie fell over him, and it was like a chain effect. Soon, they managed to distangle themselves from each other, and Mr. Baker led Gunner angrily home. The day had begun.
